I'd argue that policies like that are the fault of employers not unions. Those sorts of rules are meant to protect against employers reducing workforce by heaping extra work on a smaller number of employees. If employers didn't try to pull stunts like that then the rules would not be necessary.
I went to Stevens. When I went in 2005, tuition was $30678, or $49061 in 2024 dollars: https://web.archive.org/web/20050308135701/http://www.steven.... This is with all semester/yearly fees included.

2024 tuition? $63,462: https://www.stevens.edu/tuition-fees-and-costs. This _does not_ include the additional fees on the page.

Neither include room and board.

Stevens is a great school, but NYU across the street has a more prestigious brand. They are even more expensive than this.

$300-400k in tuition alone is very realistic...unless you go to an in-state school. Penn State is $20k if you're in state, and that includes studying Comp. Eng. at University Park.

TCP checksums are very basic. Ethernet has a proper CRC, which at least has certain mathematical guarantees about what it can detect. The TCP checksum fails if the same bit is flipped from 0 to 1 and 1 to 0 in the same bit position modulo 16.
But requests have to meet Swiss standards, which makes all the difference.
From the article: "The board cannot impose fines or direct punishments against Apple for its violations."

So there is literally no consequence to Apple, or any other company from doing these actions, meaning there is no law to be above. If the IRS could do only make public statements that people didn't pay income taxes without any repercussions otherwise, no one pay their taxes ever.

If CxOs and Board could be held accountable and fined say 10% of annual compensation, maybe they would be less inclined to allow these actions to occur.

Here's an actual case where understanding computer science would have been immensely helpful...

> The motivation for this aberrant behavior was a contest put on by a local radio station. Each day a disk jockey would read a serial number aloud on the air, and if any listener was able to produce the matching dollar bill they would win $30,000. Michael reasoned that 100,000 one dollar bills was 100,000 opportunities to win the prize, giving him a statistical advantage. And even if his scheme proved fruitless he would just redeposit his money, so he figured he had nothing to lose.

> Michael and Teresa spent each day rifling through piles of cash looking for matches, pausing only for such distractions as eating, bathing, and excreting. They soon realized that it was impossible for two people to examine that much money in the allotted time

Even adjusted for family wealth, income, and adversity nonimmigrants* with these backgrounds score worse at all schooling levels; even when placed in schools with double the funding per student.

It would be nice if socioeconomic factors were the whole answer here. But that does not appear to be the case. Even Hispanic and Black students adopted by White families do not score much higher than peers of their ethnic group. This is a dark rabbit hole that you may not want to go down.

The difference between HyperCard and Flash was that HyperCard was for "computer users" who could take the demo card file stacks or whatever and customize them. Flash was for artists and animators who realized "wait I can link this to this" and suddenly they were game/multimedia developers.

Now everything is just for professionals who have already decided what they want to do.
For language in general it seems fine. But there might be specific tasks where it is necessary indeed.

Linux mmap (since 2.6) has a MAP_32BIT flag, but only for x86-64:

Put the mapping into the first 2 Gigabytes of the process address space. This flag is supported only on x86-64, for 64-bit programs. It was added to allow thread stacks to be allocated somewhere in the first 2 GB of memory, so as to improve context-switch performance on some early 64-bit processors. Modern x86-64 processors no longer have this performance problem, so use of this flag is not required on those systems. The MAP_32BIT flag is ignored when MAP_FIXED is set.

The "(BBC) Micro User" used to be published monthly, and had hardware project in each edition.

Anything you choose will be cumbersome because you can't create friction on the water (well...), your ability to move is based on your ability to move water around you.

There are solutions that leverage a pair of catamarans and a track system, or a prop. These tend to move very slowly, much slower than a canoe or kayak. The water wheel style systems seem to move faster, but you can just get a pedal kayak and will be the fastest human powered craft on the water.
Not surprising when you consider that the impaired executive function associated with ADHD (and mitigated by medication) is known to frequently manifest in the form of weakened self-inhibition.

Anecdotally speaking, whenever I personally go without medication, I am endlessly distracted by even the most basic urges (i.e.: hunger, exhaustion, arousal). Even being slightly peckish would leave me growing increasingly irritated and uncooperative. I've never smoked, but you wouldn't know that by looking at my unmedicated habits -- taking breaks every 20 minutes to satisfy some random urge before I inevitably start losing my head.
> I mostly agree, but it's important to note that Paris is a lot smaller than NYC

Isn't that just another way of saying that they drew the city boundaries differently than they did in NYC? If you extend the boundaries out to the 814 km^2 of Greater Paris, that gives it a fairly similar population to NYC (7m compared to 8.8m) with a very similar area (814 km^2 to 778 km^2).

The irony about the whole covid vaccine debacle is that it's greatest negative impact, by a many orders of magnitude, is brain damage done to those who drank the anti-vax cool aid. Desperate for a win after pretty much none of their prophecies came true, we're now stuck with a huge population doubling down on "vaccines are bad".
I think you are conflating anti-union sentiment with legitimate concern that unions put the interest of its members ahead of innovation in the name of keeping people employed. No one said down with unions.

> Now in that scenario the worker has no power at all

The worker holds all the power, so long as another worker isn't an asshole ready to screw over his fellow man. What's the company going to do if the worker balks? Hire nobody? Not going to happen.

Which is what a union ultimately serves: Establishing a brotherhood where the workers agree to not be assholes towards each other, to not screw each other over, so that when a worker decides the terms are un-agreeable another worker isn't waiting to pounce to take his position. This retains a worker's power.

But if workers had common decency to begin with...

WTF? I don’t understand the attacks. Where in the exchange do you see snark from me? I wasn’t rude to her, nor to the parent and she absolutely was rude to me, and so was parent and so are you now. Why? Did my use of hipster trigger people, or was it something else? It’s fine if she doesn’t know what warm cold brew is. She didn’t say she doesn’t know how to make it. She did know how to make it, but instead of making it, she took the time to insult me for asking.

Cold brew was in fact on the menu, and it is in a lot of cafes. Arguing that cold brew is not popular and not ideal is a straw man here, and is also very debatable given that it’s widely available. That cold brew was available and on the table is a given, regardless of what you think about it.

You say you are a knowledgeable barista. Can you handle steaming something? I’m pretty sure you can, and that it would be 100% trivial, right? I didn’t ask for some unknown or mysterious or strange process. What I asked for is pour the cold brew they were selling into a cup, and steam it. Exact same process as the milk half of a latte. Why, exactly, does it matter what’s being steamed, and why does that deserve scorn when requested? Why, exactly, does it matter if the request seems unusual? Who cares, when you and I both know it can be done without even thinking?

The good cafes do it happily without batting an eyelash, and don’t complain about it being weird, because if you think about it at all, heated cold brew might be uncommon but it’s neither weird nor hard to do at all.
Are you sure you are talking about C# and not some other language? There is no such thing in C# as "callables". It has lambdas, Funcs and delegates.

It has always had a fair share of FP features and only gained more as it kept evolving. It had higher order functions partially in the form of method group to delegates conversions since C# 2.0, released 19 years ago and to a full extent in the form of lambda expressions since C# 3.0, which also included LINQ, released 17 years ago. It is a mixed-paradigm language.

On the off chance that this is trolling, I must point out that Java and C# are sufficiently distinct, with the latter leaning more heavily on offering both lower and higher level features like extensive pattern matching, LINQ, structs and pointers/byrefs.

If you do have C# snippets you are unhappy with - please post them. There is likely a better way.

(I noticed you posted about Callables twice, and had a quick search - it appears to be a Godot-specific abstraction imposed on C# due to inadequacy of GDScript it has to interoperate with, and has nothing to do with C# itself)

Why would MICROS~1 hate be something bizarre?

I find such hate quite understandable. I might not share it, but I would not put any trust in MICROS~1 either, especially not in a professional setting.

When I develop applications for MICROS~1 platforms, I do it in Java, betting that the Eclipse foundation and a plethora of corporations, including MICROS~1, aren't going to suddenly team up and do something nasty to the language and important libraries. With MICROS~1 as the lone manager of a language and most of its 'ecosystem' this seems like a real risk.

>a persistent pattern of businesses thinking they are above the law

In the aggregate, they absolutely are. Capital, not democracy, elects US politicians. Those politicians create, enact, and enforce the laws.
The purpose of a union is to serve those inside the union. They don't care if the consumer has to pay for higher cost, the unionized company stagnates, or if all new jobs in that company get shipped overseas. Naturally, this means that people who aren't members of a union already have a negative opinion of unions.

> - ridiculous housing prices

> - stagnant wages

> - poor public school education

> - no retirement benefits

> - expensive public universities

Outside of "no retirement benefits," none of these have anything to do with unions, and HN-goers probably would prefer self-funded retire anyways so they can FIRE. Notably, ridiculous housing prices are mostly the result of grassroots NIMBYs, and capital tends to be on the side of build whatever you want. However, when they're operating in a NIMBY environment, they adapt and buy up the existing supply.
I'm a complete newb when it comes to AI, and I am getting pretty ashamed of it too. How do I take a model like this and use it in my day to day? Can I somehow use in, say, VSCode? How do I point it at my code base, and use it to help me write new code?

> Or they'd have turned Lisp machines from hardware into a "Lisp machine" OS or IDE/REPL/etc environment for other OSes succeeding.

You mean like Allegro CL? LispWorks? Genera on DEC Ultrix?

With the exception of Genera, these solutions are available, maintained, and supported today. Even Genera hung on for a good few years. Lisp machines started to wane a few years before the AI winter hit in full force, because the idea of dedicated hardware to run Lisp programs made sense when your alternative was Maclisp struggling on a PDP-10, but became expensive, slow, and fiddly compared to the generic boxes running fast 32-bit processors with, again, much improved compiler tech. Genera on DEC Alpha, even as an interpreted VM, was so much faster than any of Symbolics's bespoke CPU architectures that Symbolics just quit making hardware and declared the Alpha version of Genera the official upgrade path.

This craziness (a belief that if you don't specify what something means it must have some "obvious" behaviour that is coincidentally always whatever the programmer wanted) is endemic in C and C++ communities.

Right now, notionally serious people are making the case that C++ should enshrine the "bag-of-bits" model of pointers which is exactly this sort of stupidity. At first it looks like they want pointers are addresses which is kinda dumb but whatever, and you keep reading and they're like aha, also I should be able to dereference my bag-of-bits and have that work too...

One factor you’ll see in many areas of government is the second order cost of eliminating civil service positions. It’s most common to talk about how contractors usually end up costing more and being less efficient due to additional overhead and conflicts of interest, but there’s a deeper problem that the government doesn’t have a staff of people with the knowledge and experience to select and manage contractors. That’s how you end up in situations where none of the alternatives are better than eating the cost of a bad plan or accepting a lower project lifetime, and because it’s a managerial failure the blame is often spread between three or more organizations and often has no effective accountability.

My first dev job was all WordPress stuff. The guy I worked for used the ability of clients to manage their own site as his main selling point. This was years before Gutenberg, and I don't think ACF was a thing yet. I spent a lot of time building forms to manage just about everything on the site. Almost no one used any of it except for publishing blog-style content.

We had one client who wanted this crazy design meant to look like a comic book splash page. Nothing was uniform or consistent. I spent weeks setting up all this bullshit so the client could customize every little thing. When I showed the client how to use it his only comment was something like "this clearly wasn't made to be easy to use."

I believe "whole site editing" just isn't a good idea for most clients who hire a web developer. Anyone who wants that much control will either build it themselves or use something like Square Space.
No one is exploiting anyone. As a free individual you agree or not to be paid a certain amount of money for a unit of work - an hour in the majority of cases.

The only reason unions exist is so they can extort business owners into paying more than the market is willing to pay for that unit of work. And the fact that as a business owner you can't easily fire a unionized employee is the worst thing possible.

You can downvote me to oblivion, but unions are cancer and they need to be abolished.
